Marauders Aim to Break Lions’ Streak in High-Stakes Matchup

Clearwater Central Catholic (12-2) looks to snap a losing streak against Chaminade-Madonna (12-2) when they meet for a crucial playoff game on Wednesday, December 11th, at 7:30 PM.

Both teams are riding hot streaks: Clearwater Central Catholic has won five straight, while Chaminade-Madonna boasts a staggering 16-game home win streak dating back to last season.

Clearwater Central Catholic’s Momentum

The Marauders are coming off a thrilling 22-21 victory over Cardinal Newman. Jershaun Newton led the charge with a dominant performance on the ground, rushing for 173 yards and a touchdown on just 13 carries. The team’s 356 rushing yards were their most since September 2023.

Chaminade-Madonna’s Dominant Run

The Lions haven’t missed a beat all season. Their 35-6 win over Trinity Christian Academy marked their ninth victory by 25 points or more. Quarterback Tyler Chance orchestrated the offense with 137 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Kyle Washington hauled in two touchdowns for 80 receiving yards.

Can the Marauders Overcome History?

Clearwater Central Catholic will be looking to avenge a lopsided 56-0 defeat to Chaminade-Madonna in their last meeting (December 2023). The absence of Cedric Bailey, who dominated them previously with 353 passing yards and four touchdowns, could be a turning point.
